For centuries, man has endeavored to lend credence and meaning to the Biblical references of The Antichrist and to find the answers to the questions inherent within those references: Who is he? Where will he come from? What will he look like? And how will we recognize him? In this definitive commentary on our current state of political affairs, Bible scholar and freelance writer, Lawrence Moelhauser will take you on an eye-opening and thought-provoking journey to attempt to answer those questions within the context of the attitudes, behaviors, and political aspirations of the Republican Presidential Nominee, Mr. Donald J. Trump. Mr. Moelhauser shows us how Donald Trump’s lies and rhetoric feed off people’s worst fears to spread hate, racism, misogyny, Islam-a-phobia, unabashed bigotry, and discrimination, and how that rhetoric coincides, point for point, with the prophesies regarding The Antichrist, with frightening accuracy. Through careful research, Mr. Moelhauser addresses the attributes of The Antichrist, as presented in the Bible, and then compares those attributes with examples from the Presidential Campaign trail and Mr. Trump’s meteoric rise to the forefront of the US Political stage. By presenting clear and concise parallels, Mr. Moelhauser encourages readers to engage in conversation and further research, and to answer for themselves the question: Is Donald Trump The Antichrist?
As a nation, the United States, as if we did not already know, is convulsed. Paranoid and divided, giddy with conspiracy and deranged by fear of totalitarian seizure, hyper partisan and hostile to debate and any loose definition of facts (this condition afflicts the entire political spectrum), the only thing missing so far was this: an assassination attempt on a presidential candidate.

seems NOone cares too much about this sudden shift to NAR political theology here as William DeArteaga predicted to Neil Steven Lawrence Nelson Banuchi John Mushenhouse and @followers even Dale M. Coulter + Link Hudson not finding this in the non-Gree writ of Eusebius + Irenaeus
Hill knows Tennessee well. In a video he recorded alongside Dority announcing the change, he said he and his wife, Paula Hill, have lived in the state for 20 years. For the past eight, he’d been the general overseer of the global denomination — which reports more than 8 million members worldwide and is headquartered in Cleveland, Tennessee. https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2024/jul/15/he-just-stepped-down-as-worldwide-church-of-god/

How can somenone seriously call himself a Christian an support a person like Donald Trump? That is beyond my capacity to understand.
Paul Washer
Thomas Erne, American politics may be too confusing for you!

Moelhauser’s analysis offers a provocative lens through which to examine Trump’s political maneuvers. The parallels he draws between Trump and the Antichrist archetype may seem extreme to some, yet they underscore the urgent need for critical discourse on political rhetoric in contemporary America.
Chris Crisco
While I appreciate Moelhauser’s scholarly approach, one must question whether equating a political figure with biblical prophecy serves to oversimplify complex societal issues. Such comparisons risk alienating moderate constituents who might otherwise engage in meaningful dialogue about our political climate.
Vernell Waterson
Moelhauser’s commentary is compelling; however, it raises important ethical questions regarding the responsibility of scholars in making incendiary claims. By framing Trump as the Antichrist, does Moelhauser inadvertently contribute to further polarization rather than fostering constructive conversation?
Jack Bowers
The article astutely highlights the dangerous ramifications of Trump’s rhetoric. Nonetheless, we must also consider the broader historical context of political demagoguery—how does this moment compare to previous instances in American history where similar fears were weaponized for electoral gain?

In drawing parallels between Trump and the characteristics of the Antichrist, Moelhauser effectively underscores how fear can be manipulated in politics. Yet, one must ask: could this interpretation detract from legitimate critiques of policy and governance that transcend theological frameworks?

The contention that Trump’s behaviors align with biblical prophecies is certainly thought-provoking. However, we should remain vigilant against conflating political commentary with theological assertions; doing so could obscure more pragmatic discussions about policy and governance that are essential for our democracy.
